...addition to traditional rivals in Europe and Japan, American companies face an ever expanding roster of formidable competitors in developing countries from South Korea to Brazil. By late 1986, imports amounted to 14.5% of the GNP, up from 10.6% in 1982. One of the industries that has been hit hardest -- and made the most radical adjustments -- is autos. Struggling General Motors, where profits declined 26% to $2.9 billion last year, has laid off 6.5% of its 578,000 workers since 1981 and announced plans to close twelve major plants by 1989. At the same time, GM will reduce the number...

Some traders attributed the rout to the news of a statement by Federal Reserve Chairman Paul Volcker that a legislative stalemate on banking deregulation could endanger the U.S. banking system...
...Hardest hit was the Soviet Union, where a total of 77 people have died in weather-related incidents since early January. Soviet news reports attributed 48 of those casualties to fires, most of them caused by defective heaters. An additional 29 people were crushed under avalanches in the Georgian republic. Temperatures in Leningrad dropped to -31 degrees F, the lowest reading there since meteorological data were first kept in 1743. In Moscow, where the thermometer hit -32 degrees, the city's residents burned twice their normal daily average of gas and fuel oil and overworked heating systems failed in many...
